Clear Obstacles Before Cleaning:

Make sure the area to be cleaned is as clutter-free as possible by removing all items from the area such as garbage bags, trashcans and cleaning carts.

Hands-Free Spot Clean

Spot Clean is used to clean a hallway or aisle for a specific distance (minimum of 20 feet). The hallway/aisle must be between 5.5 feet and 60 feet wide. There must be two walls, one on the left and one on the right, at the start of Spot Clean for it to accurately measure the width of the area to clean.

Quick Reference Guide

Position the machine in the middle of the hallway/aisle and perform the following actions:

1. Touch the Spot Clean button on the Home screen.

2. Select the distance to clean with the “+” and “-“ buttons to set the cleaning length from 20 to 200 feet.

3. 3. Touch “GO” and the machine will start cleaning.

Quick Reference Guide

Hands-Free Area Clean

Use this mode to automatically clean hallways, conference rooms and aisles, 5.5 feet to 60 feet wide. Area Clean can clean an area with only one sidewall as a reference but works best when both a left and right wall are present. An end wall or some other obstacle is needed to designate the end of the cleaning area for the machine. There are nine separate cleaning patters to choose from.

Position the machine in the middle of the hallway/aisle.

1. Touch the Area Clean button on the Home screen.

The nine cleaning patterns available on the machine are show graphically on the touchscreen. Below are the elements of a cleaning pattern.

Below is the same pattern with “Return to Start” enabled. Notice the red octagon moved to the starting location. The gray circle shows where the cleaning finished.

Quick Reference Guide

Completing Daily Cleaning Routine

The tank should be drained, rinsed and cleaned at the end of every shift. Filters should be removed, rinsed, and allowed to air dry. Pleated filters need to be brushed and rinsed after drying and before re-installing in canisters. This will ensure the robot remains clean and free from bacteria.

Maneuver the robot to a location where fluids can be drained.

1. Open tank lid.

2. Locate the drain hose and position the end to where fluids can be dumped.

3. Pull the drain valve. The dirty water should now dispense into the drain area.

4. Rinse tank.

Using the canister wrench, remove the blue canister(s) by turning counterclockwise. Remove filter(s). If using cotton wound filters, rinse and allow to dry before next use. If using pleated filters, allow to dry completely; brush filters with brush and rinse before using. Inspect filter(s) and replace as necessary.

Important: Insure O-rings remain on the interior lip of blue canisters.

1. Remove wire basket and clean.

2. Rinse out tank.
